We Want Your Input on NYC's Truck Route Network

The NYC Truck Route Network is a system of designated roads that helps commercial vehicles navigate the city efficiently. It aims to:

Connect primary freight origins and destinations.
Maximize access to industrial and commercial zones.
Minimize conflicts with residential areas and vulnerable road users.

This network is crucial for supporting the local economy and livability by:

Organizing neighborhood truck activity
Reducing traffic congestion on non-designated routes

Feedback Guidance:

We want to hear from you, help us identify how and where we can improve the movement of trucks on our city streets.

Options for feedback:

Confusing Truck Route Signage: A Unclear or inaccurate posted truck route signage
Missing Truck Route Signage: A lack of adequate signage to help guide trucks to and along designated truck routes.
Poor network connection: Areas with inadequate truck route network connectivity, often leading truck drivers to deviate from designated truck routes.
Weight & Height Restrictions: Overweight and/ or over-dimensional trucks are often observed.
Limited Curb Access: Trucks observed blocking moving, bike, or bus lanes; or have limited access to curbs for loading and unloading purposes.
Narrow Roadway: Limitations by the physical characteristics of the street, such as narrow roadway
Difficult Truck Turn: Limitations by the physical characteristics of the street, such as sharp turns
Maintenance Needed: Substandard road conditions, such as potholes, uneven surfaces, or lack of maintenance.
Limited Truck Parking: Shortage of designated parking spaces for trucks.
Observed Bicyclist and Truck Conflict: Observed locations where multiple incidents of bicycle and truck conflicts occurred
Observed Pedestrian and Truck Conflict: Observed locations where multiple incidents of pedestrian and truck conflicts occurred
Speeding Truck: Locations where trucks are observed speeding along the street or intersection
Health and Environmental Impact: Locations with air quality, general health, and environmental concerns

Speeding Trucks

Caton Ave - Ocean Ave - East 21 St

Too many trucks and too much noise from trucks.

Observed Bicyclist and Truck Conflict

Kent Ave - South 3 St - South 4 St

Trucks parked in the bike lane

Poor Network Connections

05/03/2024 - 18:16

Flatbush Ave - Parkside Ave - Clarkson Ave

Sick and tired of trucks on Flatbush Ave deviating from the network and being noisy all night long. Why allow trucks on Flatbush Ave in the first place? There's too much traffic here already, trucks just make it worse.

Narrow Roadway

05/03/2024 - 18:14

Flatbush Ave - Woodruff Ave - Lenox Rd

55' trucks park along this street block at night in order to rest or find directions. Not only are they idling the entire time doing this, causing noise pollution at night, they also narrow the roadway, create traffic.

Observed Pedestrian and Truck Conflict

05/03/2024 - 18:11

East Drive - South Lake Drive - Ocean Ave

Trucks often make a right turn from Ocean onto Parkside and cannot make the turn, essentially pushing into the busy crosswalk and pedestrian zone as people walk in/out of the park and subway.

Observed Bicyclist and Truck Conflict

Parkside Ave - Ocean Ave - Parkside Court

Impossible to bike here due to parked trucks.

Limited Truck Parking

05/03/2024 - 18:10

Parkside Ave - Ocean Ave - Parkside Court

Near constant line of parked trucks loading the supermarket here, blocking the road, causing traffic and idling.

Limited Truck Parking

05/03/2024 - 18:08

Flatbush Ave - Parkside Ave - Clarkson Ave

Trucks that resupply the pharmacy cause major congestion at this intersection, and frequently park in the B41 bus stop.

Observed Pedestrian and Truck Conflict

05/03/2024 - 18:08

Ocean Ave - Empire Boulevard - Lincoln Rd

This intersection is too dark at night. Trucks go too fast and don't follow basic road rules. I've seen a few people almost get run over here at night trying to cross the road with a "walk" signal.
